AEW President Tony Khan had the following to say regarding Moxley’s contract:

“He is a multi-year contract, he will be on a full-time deal,” Khan confirmed. “When we go weekly, he’s going to be full-time. Same as some of the guys, especially when the schedule is light, I’m open to him working some international and indie dates. He is full-time with us, domestically, essentially he’s our guy. Yeah, he’s going to do some international and indie stuff, but he’s definitely an AEW full-time wrestler.

“As soon as [Moxley] was out of his deal and wanted to talk to people, he came to me,” Khan said. “And I was really excited to talk to him when he was able to talk to me. He’s been great and I’m really excited he’s part of the roster.”

Moxley competed in WWE as Dean Ambrose from 2011-2019.

Editor’s Thoughts:

WWE should be scared. Really, really scared. AEW seems legit and is going to be real competition for them.
